Fitness in a Family Environment

Kenny’s a Y newbie, but he’s not messing around in the weight room.

Kenny: I have different days. So I have chest day, arm day, leg day, back, shoulder...

We met him on arm day, and he didn’t mind pausing for a few minutes to chat. Why’d you join?

Kenny: I have an 11-year-old daughter, for one, so I can bring her up here and workout and she’s taken care of. I don’t have to worry about her. Also, y’all have a lot of good equipment, a swimming pool, and just the family environment here.

Parents often tell us how important that is to them.

Kenny: It’s a big relief, really. She always wants to go everywhere with me.

Does she want to learn about leg day, arm day, and everything like you?

Kenny: I tried, but she wasn’t really interested in it [laughs]. She likes running.

Haha, well do you do cardio?

Kenny: Like three days a week I do, but I’m more trying to build muscle.

Gotcha! We’ll let you get back to it. Happy to have you and your daughter at the Y!
